random shots

as I earlier mentioned. these are part of the shots I took on the day of the company's team building. before and after the program and activities. more pics to come!

well, I'd like to think of it that way. this is a set of photos of one of my good friends after our team building activity done yesterday(as of posting time). another set in another post for all the other pics.

disclaimer: I am not in any way commissioned to promote the place that I will share below, I just felt like posting it. A few days back, my family and I went around Cavite for the sheer pleasure of going out(nah-we actually went to Laguna before we decided to change our itinerary a bit.) After shopping for a few grocery items, I insisted we drop by this relatively new cafe-slash-pizza-place along Aguinaldo Highway in Silang. If you're familiar with the route then you would readily see this place beside the Rogate Press. I really wanted to try out their pizza for quite some time. Basically, its an Italian style pizza with dough made right before you (well not exactly from the start of the making of it but the mashing thing they do before making it into a circle is done when you order) cooked in an brick oven. We craved for the taste and ended up ordering twice. If you're one of those who'd enjoy thin crust pizza eaten by hand - yes, they don...

Weddings are truly "magical" in a lot of ways - not only for the couple but for the people around them. When I see people who are so into their relationship that the wedding seems to be like just a formality for society, my faith in the concept of marriage gets renewed (yes, I am taking time to explain my view in weddings/wedding ceremonies/marriage).  More so, couples who not only love each other but also respect each other along with hard work in maintaining their relationship also earn my respect. "love is not enough" and it truly isn't when considering marriage. That paragraph above stems out from the feel of the photos I am posting in this entry. These are shots during the #kimadox wedding ceremony and receptions. It was a great weekend filled with happiness and high hopes for the married couple, and a great time to catch up with college friends (the very people who kept me "insanely-sane" during college). I didn't give much effort...

yes.. this is about one of so many days spent unwinding in Tagaytay. It has been so long since I last held my DSLR and shot images so I was raring to go at it on this particular one - the down side? I'm craving for more shoots afterwards... argh. anyways.. here's a little something for you, loyal reader/viewer who checks this site. Just to add. The ladies in the shots below are not related to me in any way - I have no idea who they are. For the first one below, that girl is actually taking a shot of another girl taking a shot of something.  oh the things we do to get that much coveted "perfect" shot. haha.

since I'm more mobile than before, I haven't found the time to post anything new yet (or sched a shoot for that matter) and so, for the meantime, I'll let you guys have a peak into the things I get into or the things I see when I'm out and about... check the sidebar for the all new Insta-Ranithepooh aka instagRan feed. enjoy! it's also the same one you see below. =)

For those who grew up watching the TVJ noontime show Eat Bulaga, those two words would most likely have been read with a tune in mind. These are some of the snaps from a recent trip up north - WAY north. Aparri, to me, was a town with a very early curfew. By 7 or 8 in the evening, the town seems to fall into sleep with only a few people still awake.  For the most part, we were at Lyceum of Aparri for our event. Apparently, the rattan's fruit is edible. I saw this somewhere in Nueva Vizcaya but hesitated to taste it - I'll save that for next time.
